No breast milk is best antibiotics your baby can have. How many loose stools is baby having. Don't worry if frequency is less than 10. If more consult a paediatrician.

Negative reducing substance– this is the normal result and means that the body is digesting and absorbing sugars properly.

In my opinion your baby can breast feed for now and recheck her status after a month and in the mean time ask your wife to avoid - eating maida related food items and- to avoid eating sugar - and avoid eating junk food and we should review after a month and Take symptomatic treatment for your daughter for maintaining her vital parameters

E. Histolytica is an intestinal protozoan parasite that causes amebiasis. The purpose of of asking age is to know the patient's age for clinical assessment. Not the age of referring person. Very good treatment is available in homoeopathy for your baby's problem. No side effects. Please give homeopathic medicine ipecac 30 once daily in the morning and once in the evening for 5 days. For further prescription and treatment, consult me through “Lybrate text consult”.
